Three Applications Of The Theory Of Postformal Thought: Wisdom, Concepts Of God, And Success In College

The ability to use complex cognition may be relevant in many aspects of life. These present studies are a follow up to a recent study by Griffin et al.

520 |a The ability to use complex cognition may be relevant in many aspects of life. These present studies are a follow up to a recent study by Griffin et al. (2009) of the relationship between postformal thought and complex concepts of god. These studies are also a further exploration of postformal thought, wisdom, and college performance. The first study reported here tested the relationship between postformal thought, as measured by the Postformal Thought Scale (Sinnott, 1998), concepts of god, as measured by the Concepts of God Scale (Griffin et al., 2009), and academic achievement, measured by grade point average (GPA). The second study examined wisdom, as measured by Ardelt’s scale (Ardelt, 2003), complexity of god concept, as measured by the Concepts of God Scale, and postformal thought as measured by the Postformal Thought Scale. It was predicted that participants with high levels of postformal thought would have more complex concepts of god, higher GPAs, and greater levels of wisdom. In Study 1, results indicated a significant positive relationship between postformal thought and the complexity of concepts of god. In Study 2, we found significant relationships between some sub-dimensions of wisdom and postformal thought and between concepts of god and postformal thought but no relation between postformal thought and GPA. Results overall suggested that complex cognition may be to some degree an influential component of several dimensions of thought and behavior. Image of God is discussed
